Remove collection image Trade theme

Topic summary

Issue: The collection list was showing product fallback images even when no collection image was set. The goal was to display collection tiles without any images (e.g., for size-based collections like 3x2, 3x4).

Initial fix: A CSS snippet added via theme.liquid successfully hid images, but it affected all collections sitewide, which wasn’t desired.

Refinement attempts: The user tried adding custom CSS in collection options without success. Another suggestion provided CSS targeting the collection list cards (hiding .media/ratio and centering content), still broadly applied.

Resolution: A revised, more targeted CSS approach was shared. The user confirmed it works when pasted into the theme’s Custom CSS section (scoped to the specific collection list/section), hiding images only where needed.

Notes:

  • The solution relies on CSS only; no template edits beyond CSS were required.
  • Screenshots (before/after and where to paste CSS) were central to understanding the implementation.

Status: Resolved; images are hidden for the intended collection list only.

Are you able have a collection list which does not display images?

I have set up multiple collections without a collection image but when i create a collection list it displays a product image.

I would like it to display without a image like 3x2, 3x4 etc.

But as soon as i add a product to a collection e.g 6x4 it shows the 6x4 product image in the collection list. is there a way just to hide these images just for this collection list?

Hey @ms223 ,

You can hide the images using this code

Go to your theme’s “Edit Code” Option, then in the search bar type “theme.liquid”
Below the tag “” tag paste the following. Screenshot attached for reference.


Screenshot is for reference only, the correct code to paste is the one shown above.

Thanks this works but it applies to all collections on the site. is there are way to only apply this to specific collections?

I tried pasting in the custom css in the collection options but it did not work.

Hi @ms223

check this one.

From your Shopify admin dashboard, click on “Online Store” and then “Themes”.

Find the theme that you want to edit and click on “Actions” and then “Edit code”.

In the “Assets” folder, click on “base.css, style.css or theme.css” file, depending on which file your theme uses to store its CSS styles. At the bottom of the file, add the following CSS code:

.collection-list .card .media, .collection-list .card__inner.ratio {
    display: none;
}
.collection-list .card__content {
    align-items: center;
    justify-content: center;
}

And Save.

Result:
